RENO, NV (Mar. 16) — Half way through March and it’s more like a lion out there with the wind. Despite this there was a car, a Jeep as well as a cruise in this Sunday.
• Things got going when Reno Jeeps & Coffee met by the Human Bean Coffee Stand located at the corner of Longley Lane and South McCarran. Turn out was a bit light but still good.
• Not far away, by the Human Bean Coffee Stand located near the corner of Keitzke and Moana Lanes there was another meet. This one hosted by Reno Cars & Coffee.
- As usual there were lines of modern cars and some engines on display. There was also a good crowd of people that were checking out all the vehicles on display.
- Over on one row was a classic was a classic Chevrolet pickup that appeared stock. The license said it was from 1939 and it looked well cared for.
- Not far away was another classic Chevrolet flat bed but this one had been restored. It’s owned by Alan Gregory, who moved here from South Lake Tahoe.
- Asked about his truck he said, “It’s a ’48 Chevy Thrift Master, got a 327 in it. It’s on a Mustang front end with disc brakes and shocks. Has a 4 Automatic B&M Shifter. I bought the truck brand new just like this and I’ve had it four and a half years.”
- He found the truck at a Mecum Auction in Las Vegas. He mentioned they are fun to attend but they add 10% onto the sale price.
- Asked how it drives he said, “It goes 100 miles an hour and doesn’t wander like an old truck.”
